In our series of #CEDIAShares blogs, we’re talking with exhibitors about the hottest technologies and trends they’re looking to see at CEDIA Expo 2024.
Q&A with James Krakowski, head of national retail sales, senior vice president at Samsung Electronics America.
Why exhibit at CEDIA Expo 2024?
CEDIA provides a great opportunity for Samsung to connect with the CI community and showcase how our latest innovations can boost their businesses and expand design possibilities. We recognize that every project presents its own unique challenges; whether you’re building for a living room with large windows and a lot of ambient light, an outdoor patio that grapples with the elements, or a kitchen that demands a TV that won’t disrupt aesthetics. As the #1 global TV brand for 18 years running, Samsung has you covered with options for every need, every spec, and every lifestyle.
What is the most exciting trend you expect to see at the show?
It’s been amazing to see how innovative technologies and enhanced customization options have allowed TVs to fit seamlessly anywhere in the home — both indoors and outdoors. For example, The Frame provides the ideal choice for design aficionados, providing the ability to display world-renowned art pieces, customize with different bezel options, and even select from a wide array of screen sizes. You can reliably place it anywhere you would place a piece of art — in dining rooms, hallways, even bathrooms. Wherever you choose to use it, The Frame is designed to fit any style or décor. Already a best-selling lifestyle TV, we enhanced The Frame in 2024 to provide an even more complete artistic and aesthetic experience, including complimentary access to a rotating display of artworks via Art Streams, Pantone Art Validated Colors, and a dynamic refresh rate when using Art Mode.
This year we also introduced the industry’s first OLED Glare-Free Technology on our flagship S95D series. It’s truly a gamechanger, helping you overcome bothersome reflections to deliver consistently excellent performance across any environment, light or dark.
Finally, we can’t forget about The Terrace, our outdoor TV lineup that blends vivid, detailed picture quality with durability that assures comfortable viewing in any season.
What will you focus on at the show?
At CEDIA 2024, we encourage custom integrators, installers, and designers to stop by the Samsung booth to explore how our 2024 Samsung TV, projector, and audio lineup can help you “Upscale your Build.” That includes everything from the new S95D OLED, to our latest and greatest Samsung Neo QLED 8K and 4K TVs in sizes up to 98 inches. And, if you want to go even bigger, come marvel at a 114-inch unibody MICRO LED — the very best of Samsung display technology. We’ve also made several upgrades to Samsung lifestyle offerings like The Terrace, The Premiere, and fan-favorite The Frame. While you’re visiting, be sure to ask about the Samsung Dealer Service Portal. It allows Samsung authorized dealers to initiate, track, and finalize any service issue in real-time, 24/7. This portal, along with our expansive product portfolio, demonstrates our strong commitment to providing our CI partners and customers with the best innovations for any space and reliable support for whatever challenges they may encounter.
